Crain's blog: Summer job at the old Ypsilanti Ford plant great for covering college tuition

Each day on my drive to Detroit from Ann Arbor I pass by the old Ypsilanti Ford Motor Co. plant.
It's just off I-94, north of the expressway, where the Huron River widens into Ford Lake.
The plant closed Dec. 31, 2008.
Like other former Ford plants in Washtenaw County in Milan and Saline, it's still owned by Automotive Components Holdings L.L.C., a Ford subsidiary formed in 2005 to help Ford dispose of unwanted assets.
The parking lot west of the factory is empty, but otherwise the plant looks in good shape.
